Find out in this report how the two Release Automation solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's a pretty problem-free solution."
"The available Kanban board is the best feature for management decisions."
"The solution is good for everything, including end-to-end planning and its deployment and testing."
"The CI/CD pipeline setup is more user-friendly. You can manage various stages, and there are over 400+ plugins available for each stage."
"What I like the most is the DevOps Boards. It's easy to create a hierarchical project structure, assign tasks to people, and to track their tasks."
"Azure enables us to create a staging environment through to a production environment in an easier way and then get the code and run that."
"The most valuable feature in automating our build and release processes with Azure DevOps is the scheduling capability."
"The build and release management features are valuable."
"Deployment is valuable. It deploys well."
"The UI is very intuitive."
"The rollback feature has been most valuable. We can write scripts from scratch. Octopus maintains an independent package for every deployment."
"They have brought a lot of new collaboration features in the latest version. We haven't used those features, but they should continue to expand it more on the collaboration front so that two developers can look at the code and work at the same time. It will be helpful for working from home."
"While reporting in Azure DevOps is a robust capability, there's always room for enhancement, particularly in providing more granular reports."
"The installation time of this solution depends on the environment it is being implemented in. We had a couple of projects that took around two weeks of implementation. This included the whole integration of the DevOps and everything together."
"We are facing a lot of issues in the development of containerized solutions. We are facing a lot of challenges in this area. They could make the process simpler."
"We did have some brief performance issues, however, that was due to putting everything on one epic instead of breaking a project up."
"The solution's roadmap and Gantt charts could be improved."
"I would like to see better integration and collaboration between tools."
"With Microsoft, I would prefer to have more test plans. It's very difficult to find individual test plan module training."
"You've got to jump through a few hoops to get some things configured, but if set up, you can do so many different things in it. So, there is complexity."
"There could be scope for more integration with other platforms."
"This solution could be improved by making it easier to divide variables in YAML file or JSON files."
